Animation is serious bizness
Please remember that these are grown men, some are old enough to your father and should be shown respect due to their years of experience and wisdom.

Over on the AWN forums Mr Mankind starts by posing a controversial question and softening the impact with his post Is 2D animation basically dead?.

It all starts nice and polite on the first page (I’m in there with my 2 cents). The discussion gets interesting and a good debate gets going on page 2.

On page 3 it gets serious. Mr Mankind is bemused by the reaction to his thoughts.

DrSpectre start to show his angst. As far as I'm concerned, 2D is a back-stabbing industry where ass-kissing skills combined with the ability to produce predictably mediocre results on a deadline will get you "in". Not a happy bunny.

We have a possible flounce.

Ken needing lip gloss was spotted here.

Mr Mankind posts some more cartoons that weren’t his. It’s total WWIII on page 6 before the moderator comes in and locks the post for further posting.

It’s short and so sweet.

Never mind – we have The Poll.

I just hope I don’t get banned for posting this.

	D: BUT IT WAS AWESOME even if it really had pretty much nothing to do with the Final Fantasy series aside from the doctor's name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	To be perfectly honest, until the recent settling of Continuity over the series, none of the Final Fantasies had anything to do with each other. Even now, Seven and Ten each have their own separate "universes". (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, I know. It just didn't have the "feel" — wasn't that the main complaint? No summons or magic or anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And the main hero didn't even have a sword. Nor did the female lead carry a staff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
